ORDER

C.M.P. No. 8076 of 1988

1. This is an application by certain doctors of the Central Health Service for clarification of the earlier orders passed by this Court in C.A. No. 3519 of 1984. Actually, the appellants grievance is that even though the appeal was disposed of by the order of this Court dated April 9, 1987 and the directions given therein have been reiterated in the subsequent orders of this Court, the Union of India has not given proper effect to the directions given by this Court.

2. Briefly, the appellants were originally appointed after interview by selection committees but only as ad hoc appointees in the above service. They were appointed on various dates between 1968 and 1977. Their grievance is that despite their long service in the department they were not regularised with reference to their original dates of appointment. The Union of India pointed out certain difficulties in giving effect to the order of this Court of April 1987 by filing a review petition and then a clarification application but these have been dismissed. The resultant position is that all the appellants have to be regularised in Group A of the Central Health Service w.e.f. January 1, 1973 or
